Obviously it's better to mix this with hot milk, but does this also taste good with hot water? I'm thinking of taking this with me when going camping.

I don't like any hot chocolate mixed in water. So I would say no. Hope this helps .

I took the challenge and made a small amount of hot chocolate water. As a diehard chocolate lover, it was actually pretty good if you are expecting a thin drink. You might find it lacking while in the comforts of home, but while camping, it would probably be a treat. Just my opinion. Remember to mix the powder with a small amount of liquid before adding the rest of the liquid.

Don't use water it will taste nasty. I put mine in a blender with ice and some milk, instant coffee for a new twist of flavour. It's great!

The container says its your own preference. Milk or water. I use hot water more so. You can even make ICE CHAI with it ,which I like in the summertime ;-p

I don't mix with water, I mix with 1 cup of non-fat milk and crushed ice and it tastes pretty good! Hope that helps!!

I heat my milk in the microwave (in a pyrex measuring cup) before frothing and it works just fine. I don't want to add cold frothed milk to my hot coffee. Just keep in mind that the milk volume will almost double, so the container you froth in needs room to allow for this. This is handy to take on trips too. Even camping

It has been awhile since i have used it, so this may not be accurate, but hot water may actually adversely affect the nutrients, so it may be best to dissolve it in only warm or cool water. It doesn't FEEL as satisfying that way, but it may be more beneficial though. The company could be consulted aboout that. https://cho-wa.com/

It's really sweet. I couldn't stand it mixed with milk, so I mixed it with water. Hopefully that answers your question.

I've tried it with whole milk and water. Both are good but the one with milk is the winner with my children!!!

I always mix it with a "smoothie." I have never tried mixing it with water or a juice as I suspect it has a strong taste if taken by itself.

I mix it with hot water and sometimes add some milk or cream to make it "creamier

Keep in mind that this is a powdered vitamin and taste as such. It's not totally unpleasant, but I fell the quicker you drink them the better. To me a hot beverage is a drink that you want to sip on slowly and enjoy. Personally I have not tried mixing it with a hot beverage. Also, I don't know how heat would effect the integrity of the quality of the vitamin. All that said, I wholly believe in these vitamins. I think they are the best vitamins I have ever taken.

I used to take it with coffee, but I would take a small sip of coffee, then stick the spoon with the gel in my mouth, then gulp it all down together. But I found that coffee only amplifies the taste. Now I do the same routine but with some whole milk and it actually mitigates the taste!

The mixing instructions are 1/2 cup of the powder to 1/4 cup water. For me, it tasted dreadful and I would not use it even for cooking. It might be better to substitute milk for the water.

I have mixed it with water in a pinch and instant coffee! I have mixed with orange juice and it tasted great! I also usually add some fresh or frozen berries, banana and or ice. Chocolate Royale is the best! ~K

Mix water, or milk, or cream, etc., a little at a time until you get the right consistency. It mixes easily and does not lump. It's a good substitute when you don't have fresh, so I keep it on hand.

I use a heaping flatware teaspoon, and mix it with three teaspoons of sugar, then mix it into hot milk. It is sweet, with a bitter under taste. I custom-designed this recipe for my preferences, and most likely it will not suit most other people's palates.

Was always under the impression that only water is to be used in the Hot Shot. My personal suggestion is: If milk was used flush it out w/a solution of vinegar and water. Then follow that up with at least 3 more flushes of water until it runs clean. Hope this helps. Audre
